Game Week: LA / Ga So

[Turbine]

A New Years Bowl is the high water mark for all G5 programs. Just like a NC game should be for all P5's. Until we win at least a conference championship, we still have underachieved in this conference.

That just about covers it.

No wait, it does cover it.

Negative. I didn't say I was fine with it. Nor did I say I was going. I'm not going to see that particular ____ show.

All I'm saying is that I'd rather we be invited to a ____ show than not. Especially if the Hoax or South Al gets invited to said ____ show over us.

____ show.

Why? What does it accomplish?

I’ll tell you what. It allows a lame duck coach to add to his “accomplishments”, it gives our eunuch administration excuse not to make a move that will improve the program immensely, and it gives the jack leg media a narrative to help push the idea that the state of football in Lafayette is just fine.

At this point, 6-6 with a bowl birth HURTS UL.

After reading a number of these posts, I think what most are trying to say (and I agree), is that the NOLA Bowl is not necessarily below us, but going there (or any other Bowl) with a record less than 8-4 is certainly not acceptable year-after-year..

Are we starting our own bowl?

Another 100 FBS schools feel the same way which is why 20% of all coaches get fired every year. Most fan bases are unrealistic and some are outright delusional. Also, the recourses "we now have" are still on the lower end of the "poo poo" conference in question, so I don't believe the complaints are warranted after consecutive 6-6 seasons. If the Cajuns make the NOLA Bowl, I will buy my allotment and spend the weekend in NOLA.

Of course you don’t, you’re an LSU fan. Outside of Cajunfield, we have facilities on par with the AAC. You’d have to be a fool not to see that.

This conference is chicken ____, and anyone with eyes can see that. The complaints are 1000000% warranted. A coach that is paid AAC level money should be able to deliver an outright conference titile once in 7 ____ing years.

My point is, at this point in our season - where the best we can hope for is 7-5 record, why complain about NOLA? If we’d go 10-2 and conference champs, then I’d see NOLA as a missed opportunity versus a bowl in Dallas or Memphis or Houston. That was my point. I learned not to complain since it can all be taken away in a flash. Notice I didn’t mention Shreveport. Didn’t say it wasn’t worth the Bowl game, but the venue sucks and the stadium is open air. My opinion, even if you hate me for it, nothing beats the DOME.

Here are your options:
New Orleans Bowl
Dollar General Bowl
Camellia Bowl
Cure Bowl
Arizona Bowl

Assuming we get to 6 wins, then Sun Belt will have 5 bowl eligible teams, so every bowl tie in gets a team. Only other Sun Belt teams with a chance to get to 6 wins are us and ULM (must win out against Arkansas State and Florida State). So pick a bowl from above because those are your options.

Another option:

Sit your azz at home, where you belong, and make your AD do his job.

How is your cult going? If your followers believe "6-6 with a bowl birth HURTS UL" you have one.

What you said before that is true but should be avoided. Turning down bowl bids has been proven to be the wrong method towards improving a program.

Notre Dame, LSU, UCLA.

Where did i say to turn down a bowl bid

We fired Bustle for consistent 6-6 records and everyone was on board with that. But 3-9, 6-7 and what looks like another 6-6 season is acceptable because of Bowls.
